As if the Wu Tang Clan hadn’t made enough hip hop history in their storied career, the first single from their new album, 8 Diagrams, hits yet another milestone (more so music in general). The Heart Gently Weeps interpolate the Beatles‘ White Album classic (where the guitar is doing the weeping). Accompanied by RZA‘s smooth guitar production and Erykah Badu‘s hauntingly beautiful chorus; Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man demonstrate that while the hood life can easily make one’s heart weep, eventually you have to rebound and get back to business. Dhani Harrison (George’s son) helped supervise The Heart Gently Weeps and judging from its quality, George is looking down, listening and very proud of how his work was arranged.
YO IM A WU TANG FAN BUT THIS DOESNT MAKE ME WANT TO BUMP THIS IN MY CAR . IM NOT FEELING THIS 1. I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A STREET BANGER OR THEY WILL CRASH AND BURN LIKE JA
If you give this a low rating, you must not listen to much other music besides hip-hop.
GENRE-CROSSING RULES! (I grew up among a bunch of Beatles fans)
I'm feeling this not so much Raekwon's part but ghostface and method killed it o yeah i'm from the south but i'm a wu tang fan to the death they just different.
Burmy you said love the fact people are starting to combine Genre's. Been trying differnt sounds crossed with hip hop for a few years now Love IT!!! and King mike I agree ODB would have killed this beat!
This should have been a ghost solo track. He is the only one that can really ride this type of beat. Rae and Meth are not bad, but they just sound out of place.
This would be a 5 if it was just ghost.
I am a die hard Wu-Tang fan, as when everyone was bad boyin it up back in 95 i was talkin about liquid swords and cuban linx. But this aint how to comeback, this could have been left as a b-side on the album, not the lead single. dont get me wrong i am estatic that they sample the legendary Geroge Harrison's song(i did the same with "Come Together" ) and to have Dhani on it? thats big.
Also, like everyone said this is Ghost's song. and Finally, wtf is up with meth and these short ass verses, is he really so good that he doen't have to contribute as much as the others?
All that aside, WTC Aint Nuttin Ta F**k Wit!!
Its true, Ghostface does make this song his own. It prolly shoulda been him by himself. Im surprised Raekwon didn't bring the fire like he normally does. Not their best, but it'll be a good addition 2 the album.
whateva listen again to this shit, it's hard and it's not suppose to be just a street banger, but a classic!!!! We don't have much classics, but dnt get me wrong I neva said this was there best!
IM NOT HATIN...i repeat!...IM NOT HATIN!...but this song wuz dissapointing...Wu Tang can do better than that...i mean tha beat wuznt even all that!!!...come on Wu!!!...hit us up wit some good ish!...~
~**AEO**~
~**AEO**~, you probably think the only music in the world is hip-hop.
Maybe it's just because I appreciate all forms of music, but I think it's a classic.
This is a classic. Groups of this magnitude coming together to smash all boundaries. Hip Hop is my favorite music by far but this song is bigger than the genre. These are two legends of music who not only redifined music, but impacted our culture as well. And stop hatin on Meth he sounds dope on this beat you guys are crazy. They don't need a single for radio play or publicity or anything. Hip Hop evolved from every kind of music that came before it so pay tribute. It's called thinking outside the box, and thats what these guys do best. They've done it all, now its just about making music.
P.S. shout out to every intelligent person on this post as in burmy, king mike, dtrix, macli, k-flow, DJ Z, verse almighty, and j roc. if you make music keep innovating.
YO! this is hot! think about it, who else coulda made this as hot as it is as Wu Tang did? no one! Meth is a favourite rapper of mine, but he doesn't shine on this as much as Ghostface. Good good tune, nice to hear from them again!
THIS IS LIKE A MIXTAPE KINDOVE JOINT . THEY NEED TO COME OUT WITH A JOINT THEY HAD OFF THERE FIRST JOINT . LIKE CREAM OR M.E.T.H .O.D MAN . OR LIKE A JOINT THAT ODB DID BROOKLYN ZOO. THEY WERE HOT STREET BANGERS NOT THIS . OR WU TANG CLAN AINT NOTHING TO F*CK WIT THAT IS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT . HEAT LIKE THAT MADE YOU SAY WU TANG. I CANT FOR GET METHOD F MARY JOINT . COME WITH THAT NY SH*T
I'm LOVIN this song...I do agree though this is more like a mixtape track but then it wouldn't spin like it deserves to. Anyways, this is what i was missin, real music with real purpose.
-TRiXX-
haha yeaaaaaaaaah! Erykah is my girl, afro or bald headed, honey can straight sing, Wu tang go soft on this one but its barable, comin with there "sound effects".
